๐—œ๐—ก ๐—ฃ๐—›๐—ข๐—ง๐—ข๐—ฆ | A monumental milestone is officially set in stone. Today, 226 Civil Engineering students stepped out of the classroom and directly into their legacy during the USLT-ACES 4th Vesting, Hard Hatting, and Pinning Ceremony held on June 3 at the solemn arches of the Good Shepherd Chapel.

The formal assembly commenced with inspiring opening remarks from Engr. Victor Villaluz, DEM, SACE Dean, is laying down the foundational challenge for the next generation of builders. A powerful, motivating message was then delivered by Dr. Luisa Aquino, Vice President for Academics, followed by a keynote address from our Guest Speaker, Engr. Jude Mark Aerone Acosta, RCE, RMP, spoke on the reality and resilience required in the engineering landscape.

Unpacking the deep significance of the event, Engr. Renz Cyrill Fontanilla, USLT-ACES Adviser, delivered an insightful discourse on the Emblematic Essence of Hard Hats, Pins, and Vests, reminding everyone that these are not mere gear, but symbols of accountability, safety, and leadership.

The highlight of the day followed as Dr. Aquino, Engr. Villaluz, and Engr. Augusto D. Frace officially led Vesting, Hard Hatting, and Pinning for the 226 future engineers. Side-by-side with their proud parents, guardians, and mentors, our students accepted these honors, signaling their definitive transition from academic theory to hands-on field training.

Stepping into their new roles, Jericho Dela Cruz, USLT-ACES President, passionately administered the Oath of Service Commitment, charging his peers to build with integrity. The momentous event drew to a successful close with a parting charge and closing remarks from Engr. Frace.

The blueprints are now brought to life. This is where monuments begin. Congratulations to our newly vested and pinned future Civil Engineers!

Witness the moment where ambition meets purpose as our future Civil Engineers are pinned for the path they have chosen to build.

The blueprint is drawn, the foundation is laid, and the moment weโ€™ve all built toward is finally here. On the day of the 4th Vesting, Hard Hatting, & Pinning Ceremony, your hard work transforms into a legacy that will stand for years to come.

Before the pin rests on your chest, make sure you are ready for the moment that turns into legacy.

Double-check everything, stay prepared, and show up ready for this milestone moment.

One pin. One milestone. One step closer to the title youโ€™ve been working hard for.

Details checked? Good. The blueprints are finalized. The site is set. Letโ€™s make this ceremony as enduring as the structures weโ€™ll soon build.

That is how we, the 2025-2026 ACES Federation, walked through this academic year. We did not begin with a perfect script. There were meetings where nobody seemed to care, each of us retreating into our own universe, nights when exhaustion became our common language, and moments when we almost surrendered to the weight of responsibility while desperately juggling academics and the dreams we dared to build for this organization.

There were obstacles to overcome and moments that tested our patience and commitment. Yet through every challenge, one thing remained constant: people's willingness to step up, support one another, and keep moving forward.

Because every time we stumbled, a hand reached out. Every time a plan crumbled, a new spark was born from the stillness. Different places, especially the Hydraulics Lab, witnessed our laughter during grueling event preparations, and the unholy hours cradled our quiet tears under the pressure. Everything was welcomed, stitched into a family not bound by titles, but by a shared promise to serve with sincerity.

To the students, thank you for your trust and participation. Your support gave meaning to every initiative and inspired us to do better.

To our advisers, faculty members, and partners, thank you for your guidance, encouragement, and confidence in our organization.

To every officer and volunteer, thank you for the time, effort, and dedication you invested throughout the year. Much of the work happened behind the scenes, but your commitment made every plan a reality.

Most importantly, thank you to everyone who became part of this journey. Every contribution, whether big or small, played a role in shaping the year that ACES had.

And now, as we close this chapter, we do not carry farewell in our hands; we carry gratitude. Because the ACES Federation does not end here, it will live on in every student we helped, in every heart we inspired, and in every memory that will remain long after the years have blurred the details.

๐—œ๐—ก ๐—ฃ๐—›๐—ข๐—ง๐—ข๐—ฆ | Showcasing Louisian excellence in research and innovation on the international stage!

The University of Saint Louis Tuguegarao proudly highlights the participation of Engr. Augosto D. Frace, ME-CE, and Engr. Jackie Princess Guiquing during the recently concluded 13th International Technical Conference of the Philippine Institute of Civil Engineers (PICE), hosted by PICE Qatar.

Representing the Louisian CE community, Engr. Augosto D. Frace, ME-CE, presented his study entitled, โ€œEmployment Outcomes and Skills Alignment of Civil Engineering Graduates: Evidence from The University of Saint Louis Tuguegarao,โ€ which emphasized the importance of aligning academic preparation with the evolving demands and standards of the engineering profession.

Meanwhile, Engr. Jackie Princess Guiquing presented her research entitled, โ€œSeismic Risk Evaluation and Vulnerability Index for Central Schools in Tuguegarao City, Cagayan Using FEMA-P1000,โ€ highlighting the significance of structural safety and risk-informed assessment for educational institutions situated in earthquake-prone areas.

Through their meaningful research presentations, both engineers brought pride and honor to the Louisian community by contributing valuable knowledge to the field of Civil Engineering and exemplifying the universityโ€™s commitment to research and innovation.
